Manhattan belongs to 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐢𝐥 𝐊𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞.
At twenty-three, she is New York's most meticulous success story.
A fashion prodigy with Vogue covers, private fittings, and a reputation for control so precise it borders on ruthless. Her world runs on schedule, silence, and the understanding that she does not share space.
Until she has to.
When her widowed father remarries, Soleil gains a step-sister she neither asked for nor intends to accommodate.
𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐲𝐬𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝 is eighteen, newly arrived in Manhattan, and deeply embedded in one of the city's most visible religious circles. She moves through charity galas and candlelit sanctuaries with an ease that feels immovable, guided by conviction rather than ambition.
They do not understand each other.
They do not intend to try.
Because Soleil's not accustomed to kneeling.
And Willow's never fallen into a trap.
They were never meant to share a house.
But in a city that rewards power in all its forms, conviction can look a lot like defiance; and control can start to feel dangerously close to surrender.
